WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE OF IN YOUR LIFE?

You've done the work, but still feel stuck.
Let's find out why.

Hi, I'm Jess!

IFS Institute Level 2 Trained Practitioner

For the past decade, I've worked as a trauma-informed coach, helping people gain clarity, build confidence, and step into their full, authentic selves. While I draw on a range of coaching techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS) is the heart of my practice.Why IFS? Honestly, because it changed my life. I experienced more genuine healing in a few IFS sessions than I did in years of talk therapy. IFS doesn't just help you understand yourself intellectually — it helps you actually feel different from the inside out.I work especially well with people who’ve already done some inner work and are ready for a deeper level of healing and growth.Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find me on a tennis court, hiking around Asheville, or reading epic fantasy series.

What to expect from working with me

  • Sessions that feel spacious, not rushed. We go deep, but there's room to breathe (and laugh).

  • Curiosity and playfulness alongside the hard stuff, because healing doesn't have to be heavy.

  • Honest talk. I'll call you on your bullshit kindly and with love.

  • Bridging the gap between intellectually knowing something and truly feeling, healing, and integrating it.

Here's how it works.

The path to living more YOU

Get clear on your vision
Together we'll uncover what "living more YOU" actually looks like — not how everyone else thinks it should. First, we get clear on what lights you up. Then we tackle what's holding you back.

Meet what's in your way
Here's where the magic happens. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll gently explore the parts of you that feel stuck, scared, or uncertain. These aren't parts to fight or fix — they need to be heard. When we work with them instead of against them, everything shifts.

The result?
You step more fully into your authentic self. Because when you're clear on your vision AND you've made peace with the parts that feel uncertain, nothing is stopping you from bringing your full awesomeness to the world.
